    I often found that German newsagents around the bahnhofs had a varity of european papers. You should try there.
    Thinking about it, it's the same in the UK too. Newsagents nearest the train stations often have the leading dailys (well, sometimes a day or so late) from most major european press, as well as US papers.
    There are, it has been said, two types of people in the world. There are those who, when presented with a glass that is exactly half full, say: this glass is half full. And there are those that say: this glass is half empty.
    The world belongs, however to those who can look at the glass and say: 'What's up with this glass? Excuse me? Excuse me? This is my glass? I don't think so. My glass was full! And it was a bigger glass!'

    Thanks, but I was thinking along the lines of the "old red shield" services, where you can buy the paper of the day at a realistic price!

    Why bother when you can read most of them online, some of them totally free

    Thats what I do every day as I cant get UK papers where I am.

    If you have a Kindle you can have a subscription and they will automatically download every day apparently (although I must confess I havent tried that)

    Bugger you beat me to it.

    Kindle is the way to go, free for the first 2 week with most papers, then about £9 a month then on.

    Cancel after 2 weeks and sign up with another.

    I did it in France all summer, just great.


    Or, call in at your nearest TocH, Look for the blue lamp !
